Events

 

The main focus of ASTP-activities is to provide hands-on meetings for beginning, as well as experienced TTO’s and to organise a social opportunity for networking and informational exchanges. Therefore, each year ASTP organises several conferences, seminars, courses and workshops for our members and other participants. During presentations and discussions, led by international experts in the field of Technology and Knowledge Transfer from Europe and the USA, participants will be given the opportunity to learn, exchange experiences and take part in interactive discussions/role-plays etc. There will be time on social events such as organised trips to science parks and other innovative centres of relevance to Tech Transfer professionals.

Executive Forum

This Forum is aimed at offering a high level, informal “round table” platform for senior managers at academic TTO’s and related organisations. The aim is to inspire such senior managers to exchange creative solutions for obstacles they face in trying to build successfully technology transfer operations. The Forum produces general recommendations to assist ASTP members and other stakeholders to promote Technology Transfer in Europe.

Participation is limited, free of charge (except for the traditional joint dinner afterwards) and primary meant for ASTP members.
